MARGATE — City Commissioners voted Monday to investigate the possibility of taking legal action against the city`s insurance company for its refusal to pay legal fees accrued by state Rep. Jack Tobin for action he took while a city commissioner.

Commissioners also appointed counsel to defend the city in a suit filed by Tobin asking for payment of the $77,386 legal bill.

Tobin, D-Margate, was acquitted last October of charges that he accepted $21,000 in bribes from 1979 to 1982 while serving on the City Commission.
